Common Air Conditioning Issues We Handle

If your air conditioning system is acting up, you're not alone. Every week, we help homeowners, property managers, and business owners across Brisbane and surrounding areas with systems that just aren’t working like they should.

Sometimes the issue is obvious. Other times it creeps in slowly — a smell, a noise, or a sense that something’s just… off.

Whatever the case, the team at HVAC+ is here to help you get back to comfort, fast.

Your System Won’t Turn On

This is one of the most common problems we see — especially in summer. It could be something simple like a tripped circuit, or something more complex inside the unit. We don’t guess. We diagnose the issue properly and give you clear options to get things sorted.

If your system is completely unresponsive, it’s best not to wait. The sooner we look at it, the less chance of long-term damage.

Weak Airflow or Strange Smells

Air should flow evenly, smell clean, and feel consistent throughout the room. If you're noticing stale air, unpleasant odours, or inconsistent cooling, your filters might be clogged or mould could be building up inside the system.

These are signs that your system needs a service — not just for performance, but for the health of your air.

Leaking or Noisy Systems

Any leak is a red flag. Whether it’s water pooling around the unit or a subtle drip behind a wall, it’s usually a sign of a blocked drain, cracked pan, or refrigerant issue. Noises — rattling, buzzing, or screeching — also point to worn or loose parts that need attention before they fail.

The good news? Most of these are fixable when caught early. And we’ll explain everything clearly so you’re never left in the dark.

Thermostat Not Working Properly

If your air con turns on and off randomly, blows the wrong temperature, or doesn't seem to respond at all, the thermostat could be to blame. We can recalibrate it or recommend a replacement — often on the spot — so your comfort is back in your hands.

Power Trips or Electrical Faults

If your system causes the power to cut out or flicker, there could be an electrical fault inside the unit or a problem with your home’s circuit. These issues are serious, but they’re also common — and our licensed technicians know how to fix them safely and efficiently.
